You could try installing the "acme" package if you use [GNOME]2. This provides support for the multimedia keys found on some keyboards such as Hewlett-Packard's - even the volume knob worked!
!! MS Natural Pro
-I
have a MS Natural Pro keyboard,
with the 'multimedia' blue
buttons across the top. I borrowed the following xmodmap file from JamieCurtis
, no idea where he got it from. Problem is, it only works if you use
the keyboard via PS/2 -
use USB and it has a different set of keycodes!
-Both are listed below
. To use these
, place
in a file called
.Xmodmap in your home directory, and
make sure your X login runs xmodmap over this file. This
is normally done for you in most systems. Now you can use your window manager to grab these keys and run commands for you
.
+
+If you
have a MS Natural Pro keyboard with the blue
'multimedia' buttons across the top and can change your __/etc/X11/XF86Config__
, put __Option "!XkbModel" "microsoft"__ in the !InputDevice section for
the keyboard and you'll be able to
use them
. If you can't
, put one of the following
in __
.Xmodmap__
in your home directory (
make sure your X login runs xmodmap over this file; this
is a common default), depending on whether the keyboard is connected via USB or PS/2
.

-! Another way

-If you have access/ability to change your X11 settings, http://flag.blackened.net/~retch/microsoft-and-xfree86.html suggests that you can put "XkbModel" "microsoft" in the InputDevice section for your keyboard, and this will all 'just work'. Not tested this, as I dont have access to the modify my X11 config file -- I can run xmodmap however!
